Screenings (5/8″)
Applications & Uses
Screenings in a 5/8" Size Range
Screenings in a 5/8" size range are finely crushed stone byproducts produced during the screening and crushing of larger aggregates. This material consists of small, angular particles that are typically less than 5/8" in diameter, resulting in a compactable and stable aggregate.
The 5/8" size offers a balance between fine and coarse particles, making these screenings ideal for creating a smooth, level base. They are commonly used under pavers, patios, and walkways, as well as for pipe bedding and as a leveling layer beneath concrete slabs. The fine texture allows for excellent compaction, reducing the risk of shifting or settling over time. However, because screenings are so fine, they may retain moisture and can become muddy in wet conditions, making them less suitable for high-traffic driveways or areas requiring superior drainage.
